Shadow of the Demon Lord Monstrous Pack 6 - The Remainder
This pack contains the remainder of the original Monstrous Pages products published for Shadow of the Demon Lord. This pack consists of the following products:Noisome Beasts
Monsters possess a wide range of abilities with which they can terrorize their enemies, from claws and fangs to spells and supernatural powers. Noisome Beasts explores some of the more famous breeds of monster to infest the lands of R?l, specifically those that are noxious and toxic to creatures around them. In the following pages, you'll find new lore, illustrations, and variants of the amphisbaena, basilisk, catoblepas, cockatrice, and the manticore. Written by game design Robert J. Schwalb and lavishly illustrated by Jack Kaiser, this installment of Monstrous Pages throws open the doors to the most noisome monsters known on Urth!
Of Monstrous Mien
The misbegotten hybrids of strange unions, the results of bizarre conjurations, creatures warped through experimentation, alchemical effluvia, or the corrupting taint of the Void, monsters are often unique beings. Few monsters are members of entirely new species though some species have their origins in such beasts. Usually prone to fits of violent rage, monsters are driven by hunger, brutal instinct, and all-too-commonly pain wrought by their unnatural creation or existence. Whether found in the forsaken wilds, hidden laboratories, or areas polluted by alchemical toxins, most are thankfully solitary. Only in rare instances are several identical monsters created, those capable of fighting as a pack most likely to cooperate with each other.
Of Monstrous Mien builds on the information presented in Shadow of the Demon Lord by presenting a set of tools for customizing and building your own monsters. You will find all the basic monsters and tables to support their customization, which let you randomly determine the form and appearance of monsters, customizing the basic entries, though you can always choose results to suit your taste and needs for the story.
Of Fire and Venom
Few creatures evoke the fear and wonder that dragons do. Even their smaller kin, the drakes, drive people and animals alike to scatter for shelter and avoid the notice of these keen-eyed hunters of the skies. Their majesty and their inherent cruelty make dragons and drakes even larger than life in song and legend.
Tales abound of dragons' treasures and of those brave heroes who would beard the monsters in their lairs, whether to plunder a hoard, save a captive, or put an end to the beasts' vile depredations. Such tales paint dragons as easily defeated, but in truth they are no cringing beasts to be cornered and slain. They fight with terrifying ferocity and deadly cunning. Dragons have nothing to fear from would-be heroes--as the twisted bits of armor and weapons decorating their lairs testify.
Of Fire and Venom reveals the secrets of dragons, drakes, and similar creatures, offering new options for customization and new variants with which you can torment the player characters and frustrate their plans.
We Are Legion
We Are Legion delves into the bizarre, mysterious creatures known as the broodlings. These Monstrous Pages shed light on their vast and ancienrt conspiracy to dominate and destroy humankind. We Are Legion provides you with all the tools you need to make broodlings the central adversaries in an adventure or an entire campaign, and in the following pages you'lk find their history, bizarre insectoid sentience, their grotesque reproductive cycle, as well as their inscrutable schemes.
